I loved the décor, the shop and the roof top patio. Breakfast was lovely. The service was a bit spotty. Good at times, slow and confused at others. All in all for the price it is a good choice for someone who wants to enjoy a Riad.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review.
Whilst we are pleased you enjoyed the decor, concept store and roof top restaurant, we were disappointed to read that you found the service at times to be slow. This is something we do not like to hear and do not often receive complaints about. We are sorry that you...

Went here for a pre dinner drink. Walking through you get to see and experience a beautiful hotel.
The rooftop is great with lots of different pockets to sit and drink.
A great luxurious spot for a sunset drink

Thank you for taking the time to review your pre-dinner drinks at our rooftop restaurant.
We are glad you enjoyer yourself and would be delighted if next time you are visiting Marrakech, that you will consider staying with us too.
All the very best,
El Fenn Guest Relations

We were very impressed on arrival, the El Fenn didn't disappoint. We were in a Suite on the ground floor just by the courtyard pool which, for the main, was like having our own private pool. The suite was absolutely massive and perfect in every way. The only downside was that it was too hot for us to start setting...

I don't usually write reviews about hotels or restaurants, because I don't often feel so strongly about anything. However, this time I thought I needed to share our experience with you...
This was the fifth Riad we stayed in in Marrakesh and was by far the most recommended. It's beautifully decorated, clean and charming.
Big let down however is the...

Thank you for your feedback and we apologize that the service during your stay was not as it should have been.
We were surprised and disappointed to read your review and only wish that during your stay, you had let us know that your expectations were not being met, we have no record of any complaints from you. As you...

Returning to somewhere you knew and loved after a few years absence could potentially raise a few questions in your mind, will it still have all of those ingredients that captivated you in the first place?
Does it still have that particular, one of a kind uniqueness? Above all, and most importantly, could it have changed?
There’s no fear of...

Thank you for this wonderful review.
Room 21 is indeed gorgeous and we could not be happier that you enjoyed what you loved about the hotel last time, as well as liking the new additions, such as our concept store.
It was great to see you back here and we hope that you will not leave so long to visit...

This is our second visit. This has to be one on the most relaxing places I have ever been. The staff are amazing and it was great to be recognised even after a year. The roof top is incredible and our rooms were stunning. Thank you for a fantastic stay

My husband and I almost cried when we left.
No, not out of unhappiness. Not because we were leaving one of the most peaceful hotels we had ever experienced but because of the people we got to know during our stay at El Fenn.
It sounds cliche to say it "feels like home" but it did. The staff were fantastic,...

What a fabulous review, Thank you.
It was a great pleasure to host you. Nothing could be better to read than El Fenn is your favourite hotel in the world!!
Our aim is that all guests feel like it's their home, so we are delighted that we are getting that right.
Please don't wait too long to come back and...

Visited this hotel one evening just for drinks. Stunning views, specially during sunset. Next day we went back for dinner after Terrase des Epices was closed (even though we had a reservation): tasty food; more options than just Moroccan food.
The interior design of the hotel is incredible. Great place to end your day in Marrakesh.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review of our restaurant.
We are all really happy that you enjoyed your evening and hope that next time you are travelling to Marrakech, that you will consider staying with us or dining with us again.
Many thanks.

My partner and I stayed in for a whole day to relax after our travels to get there and loved the peace and quiet before venturing out to the nearby markets. Our 3 day stay...

With 20 individually styled rooms and suites, a four-bedroom private riad, 3 swimming pools and its own hammam spa, El Fenn is a unique boutique hotel combining grandeur and historic architecture with hideaway nooks, terraces and gardens - making it the most peaceful place from which to enjoy Africa's most exotic city.Our story began with two friends on the hunt for a small riad to buy as a holiday home. It was 2002 when Vanessa Branson and Howell James walked into the almost ruined courtyard of one of Marrakech's formerly great private homes. Nearing dusk and with the sound of the muezzin's call to prayer echoing in the air, they instantly fell in love with the atmospheric house which was being sold with three smaller neighbouring homes. They soon realised that their holiday home was going to become so much more.At the time, only a handful of Marrakech's riads had been converted to small hotels and Vanessa and Howell knew they wanted to open a place offering something different - a home from home retreat that combined great food and service with the spirit of the building's past and a contemporary decorative twist. During a two-year renovation, local craftsman used traditional techniques to breathe new life into the building. Polished lime plastering was used in a rainbow of colours to create walls, baths and bed frames, original tiling was renovated and carved cedar ceilings restored. Retro furniture sourced from local flea markets was combined with one-off bespoke pieces to create a unique interior....more less
